The Flavor Bible Inspired Recipes And A Cookbook Collection Giveaway

I must own more than 100 cookbooks.  Believe it or not, I have only used recipes out of a few.  I am more likely to look at the pictures and get inspired without ever looking at a recipe.  You think I am weird, don't you!?!?


On the other hand.  My Flavor Bible is never far from my fingertips.  Finding great complimentary flavors or new combinations is always fun.  I even use The Flavor Bible when +Chad is creating a fabulous cocktail for Ladies Night.  What is a great compliment to Raspberry?  LEMON!

The Flavor Bible: The Essential Guide to Culinary Creativity, Based on the Wisdom of America's Most Imaginative Chefs.  You have to get one and I know just how you can...

Simple Asian Honey Grilled Chicken with Marinade brings together your kegemarane Asian flavors in this tender and moist easy chicken recipe! Developed using The Flavor Bible.  I was searching for flavors that complimented the sesame oil I wanted to use.  The recipe is a prefect example of the masterpieces you can create with this amazing reference book!

Over a dozen ice pop creations were developed last summer.  The Flavor Bible was an incredible tool to come up with one amazing combination after another.  These Raspberry Lemonade Ice Pops were inspired by my ever fruitful lemon tree and the flavor combination was created after researching The Flavor Bible.  (SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM FOR THE RECIPE)

 

This amazing Saffron Walnut Rice Pilaf was my first masterpiece using the Flavor Bible.  Finding the best flavors to compliment the saffron.  Actually, I didn't even own one yet.  I was calling my bestie +Mary and getting the best matches.  Thankfully, she gifted me one on my birthday.  What a perfect gift.  XO
